ExtrapolationAt the 3rd AA International Conference, the Associationalists began referring to the Accidentalists as "blind men." One misguided clamper, for example, tried to impress Verna Cable with his wit: leaning over his cocktail, he slurred, "How many Accidentalists does it take to screw in a light bulb? None! Blind men don’t use lights!" She responded with a knee to the groin. “Oops,” she grinned, "My foot must’a slipped, honey. Well, with any luck now, you’ll associate me with an aching groin."
